Resilience: How to Emerge from your Tragedies Stronger | Sydney Cummings | TEDxUCDavis

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

Thank you so much for listening to my talk! I hope it encourages you to see the strength in your journey and appreciate your own resilience no matter what life throws your way. Let me know what you thought in the comments below! I'm very eager to hear it!

[@cece2923]

This is literally a highlight of my day. I admire you so much Sydney and loved your story. I can relate in the fact of turning everything that happens in life that we consider "bad" is for our purposes and we can learn from them and be resilient🤝

[@Vaish.ghanekar]

You're my inspiration Sydney every day through your workout, your motivational reminder. Thank you ❤️ You're deserving of every love queen ❤️👑

[@Zazekina]

You inspire me Sydney!! Thank you for being you ❤

[@iCassidyAnn]

I’m not sure if I’m just emotional today, but this broke me down. Conveniently, I’m 5 minutes from starting my daily workout vid with you! Thanks for being there for us, Sydney! You’re such an inspiration & a light. And you help us see our power and resilience when sometimes we can’t!

[@TheRee25]

This was a fire speech. I felt connected and your words keep resonating in my head," Never Give Up!" 🔥

[@akanchhavats641]

I am proud of you my Trainer. You really are not just transforming me physically but also as a human. Thank you sooo much

[@mikeelledge4739]

Sydney, I did my first workout with you last March, after everything shut down. After that, I realized that you could help me more than any gym membership, and I never went back. I'm in the best shape of my life, and it's comforting (and motivating) to know that, every morning when I get up, you are there to greet me with a new workout, and a positive message. I live to see you dance at the end of each workout...it allows me to start the day with a smile. Thanks for everything you and Dustin do for all of us!

[@raindropsonroses3919]

She is amazing! Her upbeat energy and positive mantras 🙌🏻

[@melanieallee9191]

Same story here. Sydney changes lives nice work!

[@SanjaTurm]

Sydney had such an huge impact on my last 5 months. I can‘t imagine where I would be in this ongoing lockdown without her daily encouragement ❤️

[@alinejesus30]

saaaame

[@mariamabah7835]

Yass trueee

[@sela8788]

Sydney I’ve been working out with you religiously for 4years now. You have changed me mentally and physically! Thank you and Dustin for all that you do. ❤️

[@samanthaferguson8693]

Ahh Sydney..Your resilience story is always heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time. I’m so proud to be part of your squad. What a beautiful speech.

[@Ss_here05]

Perfectly worded

[@sarasarasasara]

Listening to this Tedtalk with tears in my eyes.... this woman is a role model for this generation.

[@deborahkelly2761]

I started working out 40 years ago. To this day I continue to work out 5-6 days a week. I keep up with you and I’m 65. I’m not bragging but I hope I motivate others to push yourself and you will get stronger. I’m in the best physical shape I have ever been in. I don’t jump like I use to because I know my limits but other than that I do it. Your the best and I love your positivity! I moved to Raleigh 5 years ago and now feel like you’re neighbor! Thanks Sydney. Keep up the good work!

[@kaylarandolph43]

I've heard her story at least 50 times and each time it's beautiful. I have followed Sydney and worked out with her everyday for the last year and I never miss a post, podcast or reel. She is beautiful inside and out and I am so happy for her and Dustin!

[@christellenadege7147]

So proud to call you my personal trainer 😘

[@MsCMoni]

I’m in tears, I needed to hear this...I’ve just experienced my second miscarriage and honestly don’t know what is motivating me. People say this will make me better at my job (mental health clinicians) but I want to first show up for myself, which means taking a step back and taking a break just to be and live. I’m not sure what’s in store for me, but I’m quitting my high trauma and high stress job. I suppose the thing helping me rn. Is the fact that I know this isn’t the end bc I’ve endured so much tragedy. Beautifully spoken, thank you Sydney for all that you do❤️ I’ve been working out with you for over a year and am grateful to have you as a constant positive source of light in my life

[@sydneycummingshoudyshell]

I am so sorry to hear about your recent loss Monica. There is no way to move forward directly into using the pain that you have without having some time for deep reflection and healing and this looks different for everyone. For Dustin and myself, we didn't have a lot of support or experience in navigating such loss and we used our emotions to literally build ourselves up again. Take all the time you need, there is no one way for anyone to grieve. I know in your future you will be very proud that you did this for yourself

[@suzetterowe4593]

Much love ❤️ Monica. God is not finished with you, you have so much to offer the world. Keep pushing.

[@MsCMoni]

@@sydneycummingshoudyshell thank you Sydney for your kind affirming and supportive words! You’re so right, time is very crucial in order to reflect and grow. I suppose sometimes you have to rise from the ashes and create the life and community you want/need. Adversity always creates new paths! It’s incredible how you and Dustin created this community and I’m forever grateful! You are incredible and beyond inspirational. Love you Sydney thank you for being you❤️

[@lizetealcalai8452]

Sidney unknowingly helped me through the pandemic in 2020 with her daily, energizing and positive workouts. I no longer go to my gym, the results of her training superseded years of daily workouts. I am grateful and blessed to have come across her when was depressed, lethargic and sad. Thank you Sidney, may God bless and protect you always

[@Abena_yogi]

This woman changed my fitness level. I’m grateful to her

[@ZM-vz6wf]

I do Sydney's workouts everyday and they help me through my daily struggles. I am inspired by you Sydney and I'm happy I found your channel. I will never give up.

[@genesisrios3332]

This brought tears to my eyes. Your story is so heartbreaking yet so inspirational! So proud to be part of the Sydney Squad! ❤💙💜

[@jennifers7048]

Same! It’s hard to hear such a difficult story from someone we love!

[@niknak554]

Sydney has been my inspiration ever since I discovered her channel last March! She’s so strong. What a story and incredible human being.

[@candacedawn357]

I believe she's been on KZbin around 4 years!!

[@MariMaDiBa]

What a beautiful soul. Every morning, she shines like the sun, I honestly love this woman's attitude and look up to her.

[@tarynterrell1523]

Sydney, her spirit, resiliency and consistency in showing up for us has seen me through my own personal tragedy in the last year. So thankful for her and the bright light that she shines in the world.

[@meganr716]

You have changed so many lives sydney. He would be so proud of you. YOU should be so proud. I wouldn't be who I am without you. I'm positive so many could say the same. THANKYOU for everything.

[@emsamansky]

I remember that first workout you came back after the shooting. A month later I injured my foot running and modified for months because I couldn’t do anything that required jumping or being on my toes. I met you in NYC soon after and the day I got home I committed to working out with you every day. Happy to say that now, almost 2 years later, I still work out with you daily and I’m back to running too. Your resilience has been inspiring. I’m sure I speak for many when I say thank you for sticking out the hard times. It has been so important to have a constant in my life, especially this last year.

[@nickkaehler1392]

Syndey is the best! In case you are wondering, her workouts are awesome. I've been doing them for over a year now. I'm glad she was able to overcome all the pain and keep living.

[@stephaniethompson5901]

Sydney you are becoming one of my all time favorite people. I knew you were special, but wow lady. I needed to hear this today, and there it was a post in the squad. God works in strange ways, he knows I need to turn my pain into purpose. Thank you for putting it all out there, your an inspiration. I'm so sorry you lost your brother, I did to recently. I'm gonna turn that pain into something productive. God bless!

[@paulagabay9915]

Thank you Sydney I continue to feel my late sister that I lost through Pancreatic Cancer through your workouts on a daily basis. This was her motto never give up. I lost her on May 9th 2020 and I believe she sent you to me.

[@ravynteele5803]

Sydney, resilience is an understatement when using it to define you. It is an honour and a privilege to have been a viewer of your journey. You inspire me to become the best possible version of myself every. Single. Damn. Day. I won’t lie, I was crying throughout the entire video. Your strength is intoxicating ❤️ thank you for all that you do, and for who you are!

[@jessacamp583]

It’s not often that I watch videos and not multitask. This talk stopped me in my tracks, I was completely transfixed! A super engaging story and extremely inspiring. Thank you for sharing Sydney. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺💕

[@assiakessai]

Iam honoured to have you as my trainer and as a part of my journey of overcoming, Nietzsche said that life is about overcoming and affirming life and saying yes to life no matter what happened and embrace life with it ups and down because the essence of the world is will to power , to have that will means to find meaning beyond pain and suffering and accept it as a part in life as a essential part to find who we are , we cant gow and thrive in our life with out pain , and what define us not the past but our attitude about what had happened, for me working out was a my way to find my will to power sydenycummings was the one who choose me iam grateful to have you in my life ,we are not victims of our pasts but rather survivors 🙏❤💪

[@thefrancesca]

I LOVE this woman so much. she's literally changing my life

[@katherinelee3170]

I have followed Sydney for two years now and I knew her story but this moved me to tears. Sydney you came across so well and you should be so proud of this moment xx

[@mariat2761]

I’m so proud of Sydney. She is a real life example of what not giving up actually means. She is such a great person and a trainer. She is the key factor that I am now able to transform my life. ❤️

[@Noelobrien100]

Watching this, I got chills, because all I could think is “This is my trainer who has changed my life.” Sydney, myself and so many others, applaud your strength in never giving up and also showing up for us every day! You’re healthy, you’re happy, and most importantly, you’re strong!

[@minminkhorrami83]

Dear Sydney, I’m an Iranian girl from NYC who started to practice with your training some months ago. You are perfect I enjoy working out at home with you because your exercises are so unique and functional👌🏻 after all I saw this ted talk from you which meant a lot for me because I felt like I’m in a same page with you. I lost my dear brother some years ago after 1 month being in coma and I understand how does it feel. You’re strong and inspiring and I’m so glad and honored to follow such a lovely powerful trainer.🙏🏻 thank you 💕

[@cindymaharaj1441]

[@patriciahagan5804]

Thank you for sharing your trauma with us. In September I lost my 54 year-old brother and best friend to Stage 4 Melanoma. In March I lost my dad to Stage 4 Lung Cancer. My heart is broken and consumed with grief, but what other choice do I have but to embrace this beautiful world, put one foot in front of the other, and grow stronger. Fitness has been my salvation during this tragic time. I always get so much energy from the positivity that shines through when you train us.

[@julianadolski1742]

This talk brought me to tears. Sydney has become one of the greatest role models in my life and continues to empower not only myself but her entire community both physically and mentally every single day. She is such a light in this world and we are all so blessed to travel along this journey with her ❤️.

[@NM-jg5vr]

I love you! Been with you on KZbin for more than a year now . You've not only changed my body but you have changed the way I look at my life! You showed and taught me that nothing is too hard or too out of reach! I am a dentist. I deal with emergency cases on daily basis and I used to question my ability all the time! Back then ,I knew I was good but somehow I didn't appreciate my abilities.However,these days because of you,there is no negative thoughts! And I feel like I am invincible .So,thank you my dear! Love you!❤❤❤

[@ojosrojos631]

honestly sydney has changed my life so much 🥺❤️ i remeber a few months ago i was in a state of mind were i would just always be disappointed in my self. I would constantly binge eat and at the end of the day i would cry myself to sleep regretting what i did. I felt like i was in a bubble, stuck and lost. I was always mad at myself and i thought that i would never get out. It affected me so much and its sad how I went through that at a young age where i should be happy with no worries. Until one day i decided that enough was enough and i changed my life around. I started eating better and told my self that I can do this. my sister told me about sydney and ever since then I've been so happy and with less insecurities. THANK YOU sydney so much! i don't know what i would do without you!❤️

[@kaceyduffield340]

Sydney, you’re amazing. I discovered you a year ago and I’m so thankful for it everyday when I workout with you! I also played a sport at the D1 level and I too have had obstacles in my life that have pushed me to never give up. You’re talk today and everyday at the end of your workouts inspire me more than you could know. Thank you for existing and doing what you do. The likelihood of you seeing my comment is slim but really I hope you know that you have changed my life along with many others!

[@prettypurplesparkle]

That's my trainer!! I love her!! She's the best!! I show up everyday for her workouts. I love her story and how motivational she is. Helps me everyday to never give up.

[@EmilyLxxxx]

Best trainer to ever come by! She has given me more than just daily workouts. She has shown me i can be the strongest version of my myself and taught me how to truly love who i am. Sydney is the best! Highly recommend checking her workouts out!

[@palemorningstar9116]

Sydney is a blessing to this world!

Hello Miss Sydney Cummings God bless you and Dustin both. Stay Strong and never give up!!! Wishing you nothing but the best. Forever Together.

[@hctz1234]

Sydney, all I can genuinely say is; me tienes en lágrimas... I say it in Spanish because is how I find more feeling to the words. Yet these tears are of admiration and the even more respect I hold towards you! Words cannot describe how great of a human being you are or the kindness you share. From what I can tell, I have a lot of growing to do as an individual. Muchas gracias for the inspiration!!!

[@Poacala]

You are the best trainer!

Oh my God, what a queen Sydney is.

[@pistachiopistachio4941]

Sydney you are my hero. I am unable to put into words how grateful am for you. Your strength and resilience and positivity influence millions like me. It's such a big commitment to show up every day for all of us for which I would like to express my deepest and heartfelt gratitude. You are the one who truly helped me become a fitter, stronger, and more positive version of myself. Not being a physically active kid in my early days and struggling with another professional aspect of my life (studying to become a doctor) you have been the greatest help. I pray that you achieve great heights. Thank you from India

[@Tbas1014]

I am so proud to call you my trainer. I have watched you n Dustin grow over the years into something amazing and its so magical to watch. So happy to be a part of your journey and your squad...you two simple are the best!

[@mansir6720]

You're are my HERO Sydney.. Your speech made me cry but at the same time make me think the person I've become over the years. We DO NOT give up, We are RESILIENT. You truly inspire me in my everyday life and I cannot thank you enough for that. 🙏🏼💪🏼😘

[@aurora5612]

I couldn't be more proud of her. Not only is she my trainer, but she's also my daily inspiration❤️

[@meganmadley1446]

Sydney, you have pushed me so far beyond my own comfort zones (I am super shy and working on “coming out of my shell), not only in my fitness journey, but my life as well. I began exercising pretty consistently about 2.5 years ago, I found you in the beginning of 2020, thankfully! I loved you before I saw this video but even more so since!! You are inspirational, motivational, and SO SO STRONG! I truly appreciate hearing about your experiences in life that have shaped you into the amazing woman you are! I commend you for being so strong and inspirational. I look forward to many more amazing workouts with you !!!

[@Spajari]

Sydney has been a life-changer

[@marlenelipe6088]

I've been doing your workouts with you since you first began. I always loved your positive energy and genuine nature. I remember how fast it seemed like you returned after your accident, and that right there shows how detached I must have been at the time but also that you made it seem so easy that maybe none of us really realized your true struggles. You give so much of yourself and I know it has to be hard work both physically and mentally, but it's also a win win. You help millions of people just like me live healthier lives and to be honest, your workouts and upbeat nature distracted me from difficult mornings in my life so imagine how many people you get through each day just being yourself! I am thrilled to see your success, you deserve every piece of it!

[@tr5274]

Sydney - you are a powerhouse and I love all your talks (TED Talk and the ones after a great sweaty workout!). thank you.

[@kellysantos3447]

I totally cried watching this Sydney. I’m such a softy. Lol. I used to be a self proclaimed couch potato, but in Jan of 2020 I decided to make a change. I was 5ft 2 in and 195 pounds. I found some free workouts on KZbin but around May of 2020 I found you. I had never done weight training before but it has honestly made a huge difference in terms of sticking to my fitness goals this time around. I’ve lost almost 30 pounds since May to now for a total of 55 pounds since Jan. I suffered a stroke at 36 on November 3. Yup Election Day. I did not loose my mobility on my Left side thanks to my husbands quick thinking and a drug called TPA. I really credit you Sydney with taking care of me before and after my stroke. Had I not been training with you already. I really don’t think I would have been as successful in my recovery. I was a 4 vs 5 (left vs right) after my stroke. I just had a follow up and I’m back at 5 and 5 on both sides according to my PCP. Words will never be able to express my immense gratitude. You really did change my life. Thanks you Sydney.

[@kellysantos3447]

Also I am so sorry for your loss.

[@hawtnurse6385]

Ok here’s my little testimonial: I started working out with you 3 months ago and in the beginning it was hard to show up. But I see you showing up everyday and it’s so encouraging to know that your right there with me. Your positivity and praise really helps me crush it! I couldn’t do it without you! I am finally losing the weight postpartum and I can’t thank you enough! 💕

[@megolevishea283]

I had to hold back tears multiple times. You're story, resilience, and passion are so motivating. We are so lucky to have you Sydney. You are a natural when it comes to public speaking. I'm sorry that you had to go through the traumas but you came out of them with so much strength. ❤

[@angelamcgee3614]

So, I happened upon Sydney not quite a year ago yet when I was looking for an upper body workout with weights. I found the one where you progressively increase the number of reps over 90 seconds. It was a while yet before I looked at her other workouts. What I loved though from that first video that I saw was how positive she was, and also how she was just as exhausted as me (albeit her weights were definitely heavier than mine). It comes across so well that she does relate to us. Even in her workouts, I don't know how she knows cos she can't see us, but when I feel like this is too hard, she will say something relating to how I am feeling in that moment, and it's not a fluke, or one off, it's nearly every time. Or even a comment about form just as I realise my bum is creeping up in a plank. Sydney knows what we go through cos she goes through it too. Hearing about her brother was emotional, I don't know how she got through that without crying. I am inspired by Sydney. I was resilient before I found her, I don't know if I have the same attitude or positivity that she has, but I admire it in her also. And I want to thank her because her workouts are free and I have been doing them consistently since May 2020. I have increased my weights, and actually do now need to increase again. Since doing her workouts (along with a few others -Joe Wicks, Fitness Blender, Pahla B and Kat Francois) and also watching what I eat, I have lost 3.7 stone. My Mum passed away in February of last year and for a long time I was not eating healthy and drinking alcohol while not everyday, more often than I should or usually did, and even before that it was too much anyway. My brother started exercising and we would just share workouts with each other or meal planning ideas too. I honestly hated waking up after Mum passed away. I dreaded living in a world without her and would have happily died myself just to be with her. But, like Sydney, something in me didn't give up and you do have to keep on keeping on. You have to survive in order to thrive!

You were always there for me, making me feel stronger, happpier and always motivated me to never give up. All while, I had no idea you were going through all this. Since then, I can’t stop coming to your page everyday! IVe worked out with you with family and friends. Your workouts are fun, tough, motivational, inspirational, dynamic and so diverse. Thank you and Dustin for always coming back and for never giving up on us. We love you and appreciate you ❤️ So much love all the way from Qatar ❤️

I often wonder if Sydney can see me, most of the talks at the end seem to be about how I’m feeling and always makes me stop And assess sorry don’t always carry the message through the day but I try my best thank you for your words of wisdom and for being you I just don’t think you realise just how many people you help every single day we love you for what you do 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Your speech made me cry even though I heard about your brother's story many times now. I feel I'm a different person now ever since I train with you mid of last year, I'm a stronger person mentally and physically. I can't thank you enough for the workouts every single day. I truly look forward to it first thing in the morning and crush the workout with you! Thank you!

You did such a great job sharing your story and being personally transparent with us Sydney. I am so sorry for the tragedies in your life. Such a heartache to lose your brother and a terrible trauma to be shot!! I am very proud of you how you used your pain to do good in this world. Your positivity motivates us all and is such an inspiration. Without a doubt personal pain can make us more empathetic and caring human beings. We always have an opportunity to build and grow our character through difficulties. Thank you again for your helpful daily workouts and inspirational comments. Your smile and positivity keeps me coming back to you. Your routines outshine my workouts at the gym by a long shot. I found you on KZbin in the middle of lockdown and I am so happy to have you as my trainer. I no longer need the gym with my setup at home. Keep up the awesome work!
